The content was brilliant. Julie was able to give lots of background and additional information due to her other qualifications...

One of the best courses I’ve attended in my working life...

The best thing about this course was that it was a small group with lots of group work and practical activities...

It met all my expectations going from knowing nothing about baby massage to where I now free more than confident and filled with the knowledge in which I would need to teach baby massage...

I just wanted to say we all thought the course was great and Sarah was a brilliant tutor. Many thanks for everything and we will certainly be renewing our training with you in the future - Paediatric first aid course Nov. 2014

Very clear with lots of encouragement of participation and a good group size. The role play really helped practice thinking on feet...Paediatric First Aid Course participant

The course exceeded my expectations, I found the course extremely excellent...

The facilitator was great and listened to everyone. The role play was an excellent feature as was working with real mums and babies...
